I’ve been thinking about home for awhile. I just checked the dictionary definition – home: a house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family or household – a place where one lives…hmmm… As a kid, I lived in the same community for 21 years. I did live in threeContinue reading “home”

I wrote this in December. November? Got frustrated adding photos. Stepped away…for weeks. Now I’m in Phoenix at the airport waiting my flight to Honolulu. Stay tuned… You know how those little moments happen and cause you to reflect? Almost like a déjà vu? And then one of those little reflections leads you to another?Continue reading “Change…Again?”

Lucky me! I got to spend a couple nights in San Francisco thanks to my dear friend, Lorraine. And it was to celebrate my birthday…one more year til Medicare! LOL So please enjoy the photos of San Francisco and a few tidbits of information…and that’s it! The photos entering the city don’t do it justice.Continue reading “Local Travel Blog Alert!!!”

And this is where I get confused…Is this blog a journal? A diary? (Are those two things different?) A travel blog? Just some drivel coming to my (our) brain? Clearly, we haven’t been traveling so currently this isn’t exactly a travel blog – though we do live in a beautiful area and there are plentyContinue reading “Hmmm…where to start?”

Straight up gonna say it…I’ve been struggling. Can’t quite put my finger on it. I’ve been trying to figure out how to address it in my head and heart and I kept thinking that if I wrote about the struggle, maybe it would help me through it. But I couldn’t figure out what to say…IContinue reading “Restless*”

August 23, 2022 was the day we started our two day journey back home from Europe. The photo below was taken by Joyce in the Nice airport. I believe Joyce was reluctant until she understood my reasoning. Have you ever been sick, really sick, while traveling? I’m a big whiner when I am sick. WeContinue reading “August 23, 2022”

I believe my last post was August 18th, nearly two months ago. Too Long! In that post I told you we were heading home from our European adventure. And head home we did. Joyce has told you a little about the last two months. I won’t go into any great detail about it in thisContinue reading “It Has Been A While”

There’s something narcissistic about being a writer. Something egocentric or self-centered. I mean…it’s weird thinking that my thoughts put to paper would interest anyone. Why would people read our blog? Our “travelogue” posts are just a small portion of our posts and some of the most read posts aren’t really about travel. (I can’t believeContinue reading “Writers”

Change is a constant. It’s the one thing that we can count on. In junior high, I remember some of us whining to our PE teacher, Mrs. Bruce about having to run around the track asking her “Do we haaaavvvve to…?”. I’ll never forget her response, “The only things you have to do in lifeContinue reading “seasons aren’t the only things that change…”

You know how you don’t think that you’re thinking about anything and then realize that some thoughts are coming together and maybe there’s a blogpost forming in your mind? Yah. Me neither. And yet I find myself having thoughts… Glen and I have belonged to “The Next Big Idea Club” (NBIC) for years. It’s aContinue reading “Stardust”
